Growing of the Beard is the Way of the Believers

Allaah(swt) says:

"It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path." (Qur'aan 33:36)


"Deem not the summons of the Messenger among yourselves like the summons of one of you to another. Allah doth know those of you who slip away under shelter of some excuse; then let those beware who withstand the Messenger's order, lest some trial befall them, or a grievous penalty be inflicted on them." (Qur'aan 24:63)


One of commands of the Prophet(SAAW) is the order to grow beards. Ibn 'Umar(raa)related that: “The Messenger of Allaah(saaw) ordered us to: trim closely the mustache and to let the beard grow."

*The wording of the command came as, “let grow, spare, let go, and bring to its full extent”. All are in the command form. {Saheeh Muslim - hadeeth # 499}
